Ingredients
- 3 lb Sweet potato, 2 large
- 2 qt Vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch Cinnamon
Directions
- Boil the potatoes in water to cover 10 minutes and let cool. Peel and cut into 1/4 by 1/4-inch batons.
- Heat the oil to 300 degrees F in a 5-quart pot or deep fryer, with at least 3 inches of space above the oil.
- Raise to medium-high and fry a handful at a time, stirring occasionally, until soft and just beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and rest at least 10 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Reheat the oil to 350 degrees F and fry again, stirring often, until browned and puffed, about 1 minute. Drain.
- Toss with the brown sugar, salt, cayenne and cinnamon and serve immediately.
